These former statutes are being made available for those researching the history of North Carolina's regulation of non-public schools.  The first requirements for non-public schools at the state level appears within the 1925 compulsory attendance statutes.  While they have been revised on numerous occasions over the years, we make available here only those revisions of portions which directly impacted the regulation of non-public schools.  The first separate statute section for non-public schools (in addition to the compulsory attendance statutes) was originally enacted in 1955.
